Ubuntu :: Cannot Find 7Zip In Order To Unzip New Downloads
Aug 7, 2010
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx
Dual Boot with Windwos Vista
Level - beginner (started today 07/0810)
I have just given Linux a try for the first time and so far its not proving to be a good experience. I have so far just tried to install a couple of basic programs I am familiar with and ones suggested by Lifehacker.I wanted to install Tweetdeck, which meant installing Adobe Air. I duly downloaded Adobe Air but it then says I need to choose an application to open it. Assuming that the bin file was a zip file I looked in the software centre and found 7zip. Told it to load that but then couldn't find where it was. Its not listed in the Applications drop down (top right) so I found 'search for a file' and entered *7zip* to be shown 5 files. All but one appear to be a form of image file the other (7zip.desktop) isn't an exe either. Double clicking on it just gets me the following in something called gedit.
Name=7zip
Comment=7zip compression/uncompression tool
Terminal=false
Type=Application
[code].....
I then gave up and used google to find the program and download it, but just came across the same problem. Why oh why is there not some default program already loaded for unzipping files? How can I find 7Zip (I have already looked in the bin folder on the system drive but nothing there) and run it to tell it to make itself the default for unzipping files?

I have a folder structure filled with zip files. I am trying to unzip them and keep them in their original location
This is what I am using
find . -iname "*.zip" -exec unzip {} ;
Now this command just unzips fine but the thing is that it unzips them where I fire this command(root folder of the zipped files). How can I recursively unzip files but keep them in place ?

There are few hundred tar.gz files each having several sub dirs in them (ex: ftp_server1_logs, mail_server2_logs). However the main tar.gz files (ex: 20101001.tar.gz) does not contain all sub dirs every time (ex: 20101001.tar.gz may only contain some ftp server log dirs etc..)
what i have to do is find the tar.gz files that contain a specific type of log type (ex: ftp logs) and extract all logs to a single folder (ex: ftp logs)

I am trying to create a self extracting file for Windows from Ubuntu 10.04 using 7zip.
I tried these commands:
7zr -sfx7z.sfx a output.exe *.txt
7zr -sfx/usr/local/etc/7z.sfx a output.exe *.txt
Both show this error:
Error: can't find specified sfx module
System error: E_FAIL
I have all the .sfx modules on /home/username/.sfx/ because I use them previously with "rar" and it worked fine, but it's not working for 7zip. I also copied 7z.sfx to /usr/local/etc/ to test the second command like shown here but I get the same error.

I swear Ubuntu's download pages are getting harder and harder to find things in.I help with a local LUG that holds a Clinic for Linux newbies. One of my tasks is to maintain all the latest popular distros and all the versions thereof. usually recommend Ubuntu to newcomers, but people bring all kinds of computers, many of which need Lubuntu or Xubuntu, yet others want Kubuntu, and on and on. I need all the flavors of Ubuntu.I prefer to download by torrent because it is faster with my connection. I found a page with torrents for 10.04 and 10.10 for Ubuntu desktop, alternate and server, but I'll be darned if I can find torrents for Netbook, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and others.

I download cs 1.6 and when i click double on it it says:
Archive: /home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe
[/home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe or
/home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe.zip, and cannot find
/home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe.ZIP, period.
I can't believe I am trying to make my computer better with this o.s. and I cant install anything I can't unrar files I'm down.

We are a small company running half a dozen servers in data center.Recently we got charged heavily for over-utilizing the data transfer. So,we are looking for a way to find - uploads and downloads per ip and port basis.We have mixed environment (Win2008/Ubuntu) so the tool should be able to work for both.I am not sure if MRTG provides per port(i.e. application) based analysis.

How can I use 7zip/7zip CLI on an Ubuntu livecd?I would like to have the extra functions of the 7zip CLI since there are barely any options in the default Ubuntu archive manager. Some options I would like to have include setting the compression level.Would one solution be to run 7zip from an external drive?

In the man page for find there is an example for deleting core files from /tmp: find /tmp -name core -type f -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/rm -f
which I am sure does what was intended. However, this very similar command does something quite different: find /tmp -print0 -name core -type f | xargs -0 /bin/rm -f
This actually removes all files in /tmp, ignoring the -name and -type arguments. I checked the man page to see if it detailed this behaviour, but the only reference to the order of the arguments was that -name should come before -type to prevent excessive calls to stat(2) on all files. This seems very risky behaviour on the part of find and I am concerned about whether this is a bug or not. I wasn't trying to remove core files from /tmp when I found this out, but deleting other files from another part of the filesystem .

I have following 2 files
File1
10.1.1.1
10.1.2.1
10.1.3.1
File2
10.1.3.1
10.1.2.1
10.1.1.1
Both are reverse of each other. Now, basically if you see, the contents are same, but in different order. Is there any easy way in which i can find out like which items dont match between 2 files, regardless of order. Lets say i add 10.1.4.1 to File1. Now the result of such comparison should be only '10.1.4.1'. Currently if i am comparing both files using diff, it gives me all the lines.

I have a 7zip archive and I would like to extract certain files from with it. Is there a way to do this without un-compressing the entire archive? I know these files exist in there because I am using the "7za l" command to view the files contained in the archive.

Its much better to use the good archiver such as rar, 7zip on uncompressed files (and not after crappy zip for eg. ).People often compress .iso files and similar that contain .cab archives.So, compression ratio would be much better if those .cab files were first uncompressed and then rar-ed/7zip-ed.I know it would be difficult, and dearchiver would need to re-compress to make .cab again (so it would have to include M$ algorithm and unpacking would take a lot of time) but its possible?

i'm curently compressing a big 100GB file with 7zip on a system with an intel 2,66Ghz quadcore processor. Allthough 7zip uses 4 cores to compress the file, it still uses only about 40% of the cpu performance. The cpu isn't doing anything else, nothing heavy anyway.
I started compressing 8 hours ago and the compression is currently 47% done. Reading and writing the files isn't very fast so my harddrive isn't slowing the process down.
So what's the holdup? There is still 53% of work to be done. Is it for some reason impossible to do this faster?

I am trying to set up a dedicated gaming server, but I can't seem to get the unzip software to install
Code:
sudo apt-get install unzip E: Package 'unzip' has no installation candidate I have scoured Google for an answer to this, but nothing seems to work. Did something change between 9.10 and 10.10? Or are things done very differently between the Server and Desktop versions of Ubuntu?
